To fill the void until ABC’s Revenge returns on Sunday, December 8th, I’ve merged my love of writing and entertainment with a new-found artistic venture…jewelry-making. Life inspires art, or in this case one artistic interest inspired another.

I have created necklaces inspired by three of the female characters on Revenge. First up…”Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke”.

Snatched from her father and the innocent life she led, a young “Amanda Clark” was forever changed in an instant. Driven by fury towards those who wrongly accused her father, a now grown “Emily Thorne” is a shadow of her childhood self. The young woman who returned to the Hamptons has tried desperately to maintain the persona she created so many years prior.

Very few know her true identity and fewer still know her true self. As our protagonist fights for justice, she strengthens the walls around her heart. Love in its truest and purest sense is difficult to maintain in the life that “Emily” has chosen. At least, so far that’s been the case. The romantic entanglements intertwine with lies, misunderstandings, and pain. Pain of what was lost and what could never be.

Focused in her mission to destroy the Graysons, her actions are purposeful and clever. Both the guilty and innocent have fallen prey to the path “Emily” willingly walks down. With blood on her hands and pain in her heart, she does battle with the scared little girl she left behind in seek of revenge.
